Maryland

More than 3,000 Marylanders served on both sides at the Battle of Gettysburg. They fought in all branches of the army, from the rank of private to major general, and across all parts of the battlefield. Their legacy was brother against brother, particularly on the slopes of Culp's Hill, and the aftermath of the battle and the war was symbolized as brothers again, Marylanders all. Maryland honors its sons who fought at Gettysburg in defense of the causes they held so dear. The participating Maryland commands were, for the Union, the 1st Eastern Shore Infantry, 1st Potomac Home Brigade Infantry, 3rd Infantry, 1st Cavalry, Company A of the Purnell Legion Cavalry, and Battery A, 1st Artillery; and, for the Confederacy, the 2nd Infantry, 1st Cavalry, 1st Artillery, 2nd Artillery (Baltimore Light), and 4th Artillery (Chesapeake).
